Gails Stroller by hjbenson

Gails Stroller

Gail & I drove up to West Orange today. There we met Harry Shuey, who was going to be picking up some antique trunks and furniture from Gail's parents house which has been in the family from the 1920s. In the back yard is a six bay garage with a loft. I went up a rickety old ladder to look into the loft. Since it was dark, I pushed the ISO to 5000 and took pictures. One was this stroller that Gail used as an infant. Better Viewed Large
Very cool

That's pretty good detail with very little noise for 5000 ISO.

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri, there is a lot of other cool stuff up there
@cscecil Thank you Carolyn, it looks to be in good shape, I didn't go voer since I wasn't sure of how sturdy the floor was.
@webfoot Thank you Paul, it is a good lens, but 5000 is the limit to keep down the noise to an acceptable level

@exposure4u Thank you Wendy, heard about the 100+ mph winds at Pikes Peak, be safe
@orangecrush Thank you Jerry, it was probably put up there in the '40s and hasn't moved since
@vernabeth Thank you Beth, now I have to figure how to get it down to really see its condition

This shot was worth pushing up the ISO. Nice composition of this stroller especially since it has some special meaning for Gail.
